- Help, Tips & Tricks

In addition, we will list here all web-based services that members of the University of Lucerne can use.

Open Source Audience Interaction
More Information
KlickerUZH is a web-based interaction tool, also called instant classroom response system, which fosters the interaction between speakers and their audience in various ways. During a KlickerUZH session (e.g., a lecture), a speaker may pose questions to be answered by participants on their mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets or laptops). If so desired by the speaker, the audience can also ask questions, and interact with questions of other students, in the KlickerUZH Q&A channel. The lecturer can then respond to these questions from within the tool or orally during the lecture
Question types supported by KlickerUZH:
- Single Choice (SC): Only one of the given answers may be selected.
- Multiple Choice (MC): Multiple of the given answers may be selected.
- Free Text (FT): The input is unrestricted (text answers).
- Number Range (NR): A number within a given range may be chosen (or any number, if no range is provided).
Additional features and result presentation options:
- Pictures may be added to the question.
- Questions are part of a question pool and may be tagged to remain organized.
- Sessions can be prepared in advance and questions can be put into questions blocks.
- Presentation options include pie chart, bar chart, histogram, word cloud, and table.
KlickerUZH is an open source project, continuously improved and new features added.
